George Lucas In Love

-


George Lucas in Love is a hybrid of the genres: Romance and Comedy, and it is a spoof of the movie: Star Wars. Having a hybrid of genres in short films is beneficial as it targets a bigger audience as people will watch a movie based on the genre, hence George Lucas In Love attracting people who like Romance, and also people who like Comedy films.

 Because it references Star Wars, it makes a lot of the jokes much funnier as the audience will get the references, as there is a lot of costumes that reference characters from the science fiction movie, so we know who is who. The comedic aspect of the short film is that it shows all the quirks of characters in the real movie, so we can actually see who it is meant to be, in a comedic effect. For example - 'Darth Vader' uses an inhaler in the short film, to portray the deep breathes he has in the real film.

 The romance is portrayed through the characters of George Lucas and 'Princess Leia', as it shows how they fall in love. However the ending shows a comedic twist when we find out that they are related, like how Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia were in the real Star Wars movies.

Ultimately this short film shows a good use of genre, and I will take this idea of knowing about genres will be helpful when considering audience in my music video.

Digipak

  This is my digipak to accompany the rest of the album that the song "Intertwined" features on, in which my music video is based upon.     A few things that I like from this product is:    The colour scheme - I like the colour scheme that I chose as it is nature orientated, hence quite stereotypically feminine and fits in with my target audience. I also think it is quite mellow and fits in with the genre of the music that dodie produces. Furthermore, it goes with the model who is acting as Dodie's hair. The Images used - I like the photography that I shot as it is very smiley and enthusiastic, which suits most of dodie's upbeat cheery songs. I also believe about how naturalistic and slightly candid the images look, it fits with the mellow colour scheme. House style - I like how each cover of the digipak has some form of relation to another, and together they all flow well. I did this by using the pattern from the subject's sh...

Bullied - Editing Practice

This is a very short film that I made within a group of four, in which we used it as practice for our  coursework. We had a set dialogue, and a list of different shot sizes and cinematography techniques to include, and we had 2 hours to film and edit it. What I have created isn't the best piece of film, but I am quite proud of what I have achieved due to this being my first ever short film. It uses techniques like shot reverse shots, long shorts, eye line matches, match on action, close ups, etc. This is exampled within the conversation between the two friends that are bulling the other character.   I think the use of focusing is particularly good, because it allows the audience to see exactly who the girls are talking about without there being any dialogue. The focus is a wide depth of field as you can see the background and the foreground together, as you can see all three characters in that shot. Furthermore, you can tell that 'Lauren' is the one being bullied d...
